The project has\u00a0brought together\u00a0local technology companies in partnership with large scale industry members to accelerate the use of digital twins in Canada\u2019s ocean industries. A digital twin is a virtual replica of a real-world asset or process that can deliver enhanced safety, reduced operating costs, increased production, and reduced carbon emissions through production optimization. Partner SMEs will gain from faster product design and new market and growth opportunities as a result of their participation in the project, and 30 new jobs will be created\u00a0over the life of the project.<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s Ocean Supercluster is an industry-led transformative cluster focused on tackling the shared challenges across ocean sectors through a collaborative program designed to accelerate the development and commercialization of\u00a0globally-relevant\u00a0solutions\u00a0that will help drive sustainable and inclusive ocean growth in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>-30-<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ocean Supercluster is driving innovation in the ocean economy by investing in areas where Canada has a competitive edge.\u00a0 I\u2019m glad to see that this new project, which includes two small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), will help meet our Government\u2019s goal of encouraging a data-driven, digital economy across all our key sectors,\u201d said <strong>The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAtlantic Canada is a global leader in ocean technology.
